COLLECTING EVIDENCE AGAINST THE TEACHER STANDARDS | TEACHER TALK TUESDAY | THE BLUSHING GIRAFFE

like I like it oh hello welcome to my channel and if you're not me, welcome back today is a

teacher

talk

episode on Tuesday and it's a highly requested episode it's about teaching

standards

and correcting

evidence

this is a topic that honestly I got a message at least once a week, if not twice a week, from people who are training and at the time I was training I also found it very difficult to understand at first and I remember before I started training I was

talk

ing to some from the tea queues that were at school, I was reading it and they were saying have some

evidence

right away, like start

collecting

your evidence right away because you'll thank yourself later and I was thinking, well, sure, like Whatever.

That means, I'm sure I didn't ask, but you quickly realize that you're going to need to present evidence against the teaching

standards

to show that you're doing everything you can to become a

teacher

, now the teaching standards themselves and me. I have my laptop open here to back me up and make sure this is as informative a video as possible. The teaching standards or Sanders teachers, I should say, are available on the government website. It just allows you to type in teachers Sanders UK and there are The two parts of the teaching standard I'll read quickly, so the first part is the actual teaching itself.

You must set high expectations that inspire, motivate and challenge students. Promote good progress and results for students. Demonstrate knowledge of subjects and study plans. Plan and teach well structured. lessons adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all students number six is ​​to make accurate and productive use of assessments number seven is to manage behavior effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment and the Number eight is fulfilling broader professional responsibilities and then part The second is professional and personal conduct and with all of these standards you should be at sea. There are tons of bullet points of this, so not only are you supposed to show evidence that you're meeting all the standards you're supposed to show.

Evidence that you are meeting the lower standards is also a lot, it really is a lot. I mean, it's very overwhelming when you first look at it, the most important thing is that I don't know how it works in other schools and others teach you. routes, but our teacher at school we had to show evidence of this at least twice I think, and the last one was huge, huge, our final teaching practice evidence folder, but I didn't really use the internet less as well as I should and if literally type in Google Sanders Evidence Example for Teacher or Standard Evidence for Teachers 2019 you will get a variety of online resources and that is the most important thing I can say if you click on the video now you will get the most success What can I give you? is that you need to use the incident to your advantage use what other teachers have presented to you different types of evidence that they showed use the different types of ways they have presented it and now the break is over in November you still have many, many months left Still There's a lot of training left, so understand it now so that when the time comes to create your final portfolio of evidence of teaching practice, you'll have basically accomplished everything initially outside of Google.

Now I just downloaded it from the website, tes and if you haven't signed. even that or any I'm sure you have, but if you haven't you really need to sign up because it's an amazing website that has lost a lot of free resources and some paid ones on there. I use it a lot. lesson planning as well as Imagi training you just donated a document and it's called example evidence for teaching standards and vignettes and it's a free download and there are 86 reviews and they've given it five stars so I'm just going to put the image on the screen.

So you can see what I mean, exactly what I downloaded and this document literally has examples of each of the points. So, for example, let's go to the first teaching standards, which are simply high expectations that inspire, motivate and challenge students II, the established objectives. They are demanding and challenging learners of all backgrounds, abilities and dispositions. Some of the examples they have given is that children do not have goals for how to achieve them, so you have wherever you have shown in your rating of the children you are teaching that the next step rating or assessment for integrated learning o you have written a comment or a piece of work and then said: make sure you add the commas o make sure you use the extra area next time o make sure you use the checklist Have you given the child physical feedback that is on a piece of paper that will really show that you are able to set goals, push yourself and challenge students because yes, they have done a very good job next time to stretch them even further? and send it better, you can do this.

Another one on the same point in the same subheading is the IEP. Shows clear steps toward goals and periodic review. It's not obvious that not all children will have an IEP, but the children you are working with will. You will have a group of kids who will make sure that their goals and next steps are very clear, not only so that you can see if they are achieving them, but so that they can continue to achieve, continue to strive, and really understand. what they have to discuss for the next level and yes, kids as young as six and seven can do that, but it's the language that you use and the goals that you're setting and these are all things that you should talk to a mentor about and If there is something on your evidence list that you're not sure about or you're not sure how to show it, then our mentor will hopefully have a mentor who's really helpful, who's really kind, and who will be able to help you, if not, ask a Inc UT. school student or someone who recently graduated, you know, ask the real people who are doing it as well as the people who are in your course, so yes, these amazing documents are free, there are 19 pages here and for each subheading of the The evidence you have to collect will give you examples and some of them are very, very simple, some of them are literally pictures of the exhibition that you have made and you just need to add them in the correct order.

Now I'll do it quickly. I'm talking to you for my final teaching practice document and I can tell you that the last one was a total of 52 pages and there are thirteen thousand three hundred and nineteen words here. Most likely we also made eyes digitally, but I did it in a way that if I were to print all the words here and then I could print them, I could also easily refer to my document when I'm doing the end of evaluation talk with the passengers that I evaluate and I think show the moment too, this is the evidence I've collected so far, etc., the way I did it was probably a little bit more, probably a little bit, but I decided to use my phone.

Obviously I don't do it when the kids are at school, but I use my phone after school as much as possible and take pictures of things as much as possible. I use the list of examples of evidence as well as what other people have told me about and talked to my mentors about. I thought this is sure evidence or enthusiasm. I don't see a lot of evidence in the world, etc., and then I thought about the real impact it had on children and the impact it had on my future practice, so, for example, the first one and I will have this on the screen for you.

To see my first example of evidence is that number one sets high expectations that inspire, motivate and challenge students. I will say that I will establish a safe and stimulating environment for students based on mutual respect. Hmm, how can we prove that we have done it right? a picture of the seating charts they had given me and then I labeled what the actual evidence is and since I'm a bit picky Tara and I love to color code things. I love rainbows, I decided to color code them all. my evidence was like if all of group one was red or group one tools were orange, it just made sense to distribute them that way.

I'm a very visual learner and for me, in terms of getting organized, that helped me see everything clearly. yours has to be color coded at all, it's not just something that made me feel a little calmer and the stress of gathering, collating and proving that I have all this experience and knowledge, so anyway I labeled what the real evidence. and then I wrote a line for the evidence subscription. In this case, I wrote three separate season plans for English Maths and Home Time/Topic and then a short paragraph about the impact on the children and then the impact on my future. practice so fast read reverse the impact and the children was that they gave me the seating plans in December when I went to visit my new classes it was for my cross phase since then I have always carried them while I was at school and at first they helped me know names of others much more quickly than without this is evidence to create and provide a safe and stimulating environment, learning their names as quickly as possible and being able to plan by using the seating charts has given children a safe experience . and stable.

I didn't come in and say hello to everyone. I'm your new teacher. I'm going to decide that everyone will change the plan of our system. You know, especially at freshman age. They're very like it's entrenched in their routine and they really need a routine at that age and I didn't want to, first of all, I didn't want to get into it and like everything is changing now because I'm here and second of all. I really wanted them to feel like this is still the same classroom, so this environment is like a different teacher who is with us today, so I made sure to make a conscious effort to learn where each of our children sat and also when?

We were in different lessons. I didn't expect it, like, for example, Joshua, he was sitting in front of me for mass. I did a session to be in the same place for literacy because his seating arrangement was one that indicated he was in a different place. so I always had it with me and it was a high priority for me. I also wrote. I was able to quickly go from being a visitor to being an adult in the classroom that they could trust to not only educate them but also keep them safe and then the second paragraph I wrote was the impact on my future practice, so this is the first time In my course I work in the classroom that has established cessation plans seeing the positive impacts of seizing the plans on children who have a written given the stability in which they know where they will sit and are ready to learn much faster than if This has led me to the decision to definitely create seating plans when I have my own classroom because I will have actually seen the benefits of them, especially when it comes to saving time, since gifting specific books is much easier when there is a plan and I have to say that I totally stand by my word I gave back in 2017 when I first wrote this and with my two classes I have had since I graduated and as a teacher I have had seating plans at every half time.

They have changed depending on the kids of course depending on how well I knew them sometimes I would have set up system plans for literacy and they were different than math but I have it in plans and first of all it really helps a lot . that the children know that you are the teacher, you are in control, you are going to choose where they sit and also that they know why I am in this seat now, because I am here to learn and also to learn their names as simple as that and launch them like any substitute teacher or anyone who needs to come who could just hand off, sit on the plan so it's like here's a plan, these are the places that kids should sit: there you go.

So that was my first evidence of that point and then I also had a photo of the class and my mentor like I said. I've said this before but both my mentors and my training journey were amazing and my second mentor was a close one, she actually gave me these seasoned pans when I visited her and she gave me a photo of the class and I tagged all the kids there and then around this image there's also like the Class Behavior Chart and then I labeled them. all just to help me learn their names basically and reading it helped me.

I'm not going to re-read the whole thing again. Set goals that stretch and challenge students of all backgrounds and abilities. I have a screenshot of a lesson plan. for an HSN I shouldn't have to write a Jack and the Beanstalk story and then in this lesson plan you can see that I have clearly separated the children into three different groups and have shown that I am meeting the standard by setting goals. to stretch and challenge students of all backgrounds abilities in this position the highest abilitieswere encouraging additives to make their story interesting, as well as different sentence starters, lower skills were remembered more often or basic punctuation in their writing and those with medium skills were encouraged to expand their sentences by using and so you don't always need to have a beautiful photo or some examples of similar work you wouldn't have done or amazing grades you've done, use your lesson plans because those lesson plans you're going to spend a lot of time wasting a lot. time trying hard and hopefully you will be doing the right thing by cheating with Geoffrion and hopefully you will ensure that the kids in your class can learn very well etc.

Use that to your advantage. I'm just going toBasically, now I give you some examples of what I personally used for my evidence, but I will say that the way I did it had evidence, description, impact on children, impacts on future practice, do you need that much to use? Probably not, but yes. I do it extremely well because it had so many details but so much time and effort. Yes, honestly, I did and in this process, although it was very long and tedious and although it took weeks and weeks and weeks to develop, I really reflected on In my practice, I have really reflected on why I was doing what I was learning, what I was learning and even as I'm reading this now to free myself years later, now I'm thinking, wow, it's actually so much and there's so much.

There are many things that I can review and pick up that are real and to myself, so what I saw in the first teacher in standard practice was to consistently demonstrate the positive attitudes, values ​​and behaviors that are expected of students and in my phase crusade they use something called a class dojo. I'm sure many of you have heard it before so I literally took a screenshot of my laptop that I imagine on Pastor Joe's screen and then I explained the impact and the kids in the dojos and then for me, It is clear evidence that children are able to get excited and motivated to do the right thing by having a very simple but effective reward system.

For the last one, I'm pretty sure you were asked to do at least one, but it's better if you can give more than one example. but obviously there was a point that becomes quite overwhelming because it's like, oh my God, a rock but a pointer. There are so many things I need to try and show, but once you really dive into all the things you've been doing, esp. when you get to a point where you do your final teaching evaluation like in May and you've been training since September and hopefully you've been taking pictures and screenshots and all this stuff as time goes on and obviously you can use evidence of So from your first time, your amazing time, use some of that evidence and it will get stronger as time goes on and your spring will be strong and then expect your last to be just amazing because you will have evidence of its crossover phase and of their home school to demonstrate consistently positive attitudes.

Then I had a photo of my active classroom I was in and it was a demonstration that my lovely aunt and I had made yes her levers and that's what had helped design and we came up with the idea of ​​a board that encapsulates the past , the future and aspirations for a successful year of moving up to level seven and I made an interactive board so they could write down their concerns and put them in a little bag and We had a conversation about them afterwards and yes, I was very proud of that display, in fact , okay, so for the number to promote good progress and results from the students, I have photographs of children in focus groups learning and showing how in the publication what they did and in their writing and from two separate intervention groups , I also have a screenshot of an intervention log I made on my laptop that I was on each week and wrote a short paragraph about the intervention and about the kids I went to. working with and how they have improved again there is another lesson plan here then the following evidence for the guide students were affected in the progress they made and their magical needs again was another screenshot for my intervention log showing short notes o some of the people's progress and I'm on the intervention registry.

I took pictures of some work, set them up and then the marks that they had done and then the work they had done following the marks to make sure that they had taken my feedback on board and they are listening, understanding and then they can improve their work. I'm just trying to see if I can see something different to let us look good, so for number three, demonstrate subject knowledge and gift curriculum. I took some pictures. from an aria observation lesson that my mentor did for me and it was about Islam and I brought quite a few Islamic artifacts into the classroom and the kids were so involved that they were very interested in this and obviously I loved it because it's something that they also I'm passionate about it, but yeah, I made sure it was a lesson full of interesting elements, from licking everyday objects in my house to then starting to create their own version of Islamic art using geometric shapes and it was a great experience. interesting and fun lesson and a lot of the kids came back to me afterwards and rather learned that lesson and please can we do things like that again?

And that was just that their positive feedback was not only fundamental and important to me and they liked my growth. but it was also very important in terms of showing them that I am capable of creating and coming up with my own types of interesting lessons because yes, anyone can follow a twinkle lesson or a lesson that is taught in a play, but how good are they? ? You're actually creating in a really engaging and amazing environment, so in one of the things I did, the number C, the letter C is devastating and takes responsibility for the highest standards of literacy, the articulating C and using correct standard English words above the teacher.

The specialized topic is and I actually created a checklist for my ethics class for your writing and at the top it says I have and then at the bottom it says I can use and they were printed on laminated paper so the kids could use these checklists to mark your work with a whiteboard pen and just go through your checklist and make sure that they have included all of these things and that obviously helps them make sure that they have all the different points that they need and in a fairly fun and not in a way where I have to write it down and then do it constantly for them or they just have to verbally remind them that it's something they can do independently, it makes them feel good about themselves and it makes them feel good to take better decisions. things. as you know I'm sure most of you are as eager to do the Lister thing as I am, how lovely, just take something off.

I wanted to create something like that thought that you'll know you're reaching for and so I did and used it as evidence I really hope this video was helpful. I know it's been 20 minutes. I don't want this to be super long, but basically what I wanted to say was the Internet because there is so much information available. I won't do it. I will be uploading my personal final evidence file because it has pictures of children in their names and they say I just wouldn't want to do that, but there are examples on the internet of people who have uploaded things and they don't have obviously, pictures and things like that, so it's definitely mindful of that, think outside the box, don't always think like, oh my gosh, I don't know how I could find an example of evidence for this.

Chances are you can find evidence. for which it means one standard that will also meet another, you just had to think about the wording of the actual evidence requirement that you raised as a requirement and then think properly or how I have shown it and yes, it can be very wordy and yes, it will take time. That's the most important thing I'll say: don't leave this for the last two weeks during the last week before your due date. It's something you should have. It should be a working document that, as you progress, you continually add to it. and it has to look nice and neat and color coded, color coded and everything else, absolutely don't do what works for you, that's what works for me, that's actually what helped me get it, it didn't work at all and everyone.

I was super impressed, who was judging me and my fellow teachers around me and all that, everyone was really impressed with why I came up with it, but there are also much easier ways to do it, so that's F .I'm not coming here. and saying this is how you should do it and it will be amazing and you will definitely pass if you do it like me, no, there are much easier ways to do it and there are ways to understand it. mark as your final teacher training qualification, Marvin, do all that, so I hope this video has helped you, hopefully it will alleviate some worries.

If you have any specific questions, please leave them below. I will be happy to answer it and talk to you. t all kit, don't panic, you've got this, you're amazing, you're choosing one of the hardest races in the world and for that you deserve a big pat on the back. I hope they are doing very well. Make sure you subscribe if you enjoy this video make sure you share it with all your friends who might be training to be a teacher or thinking about training to be a teacher and if you liked this you will definitely definitely come back or if she's there maybe not. next Tuesday, but I know she'll be there because there will be more teacher-related content on this channel, as well as some beauty, style, and vloggers throughout the rest of the weekdays.

Thanks so much for looking. I guess we'll see you later.
